Can anyone comment on how useful this is for testing iOS and Android apps?

Looks nice but I think you need some better documentation before anyone can use it.
Re:Software Testing Anti-patterns on Sunday April 22, 2018 @03:41PM (#16898108)
I personally don't like the word 'antipattern' because it sounds like a TDD religion term.

None the less the article does a good job covering lots of the reasons writing tests will result in a bad outcome. Much like the reasons developers dislike certain architecture patterns, it's not the pattern that's at fault but the application of it by individuals and teams

I actually hope this is a city where housing affordability is made more sustainable up front. Something to avoid the way New York and San Francisco have evolved into landlords and rent seekers drowning the wealth generation of incumbents
Re:Automated Testing for League of Legends on Sunday May 01, 2016 @06:43PM (#11608192)
Wow this is the first time I've seen automation testing applied to a video game. 2 things struck me as really great from this:

- Staging area for their tests, so many times I've lost confidence in our test suite because of a flaky test. We then delete that test forever. Adding tests to a staging area to very that they are stable is a great compromise

- each test is a class, with 'setup', 'execute' 'verify' - makes the test a lot easier to read and refactor
